Kinder Morgan Canada will limit crude oil nominations on its Trans
Mountain pipeline system by 23% in December, meaning the line will carry 77%
of nominated volumes, the company said Wednesday.

December volumes on the Trans Mountain mainline system are expected to
be 309,604 b/d, down from 319,571 b/d in November, Kinder Morgan said in an
email.

Exports from the Westridge Dock near Vancouver are expected to be 78,917
b/d, compared with 80,669 b/d in November. Throughput on the Puget Sound
pipeline is expected to be 148,368 b/d, compared with 150,357 b/d in

The Trans Mountain pipeline ships Canadian crude from Edmonton, Alberta,
to the Westridge export terminal in Burnaby, British Columbia, and on to the
connected Puget Sound pipeline to Seattle-area refineries.
